MCX15B electronic controller
MCX15B is fitted with or without graphic LCD display.
It is an electronic controller that stands on the top of the
MCX range, thanks to the large number of its inputs and
outputs. It holds all the typical functionalities of MCX
controllers: programmability, connection to the CANbus
local network and up to two Modbus RS485 serial
communication interfaces. Furthermore it is available in
REFRIGERATION &
two models, powered at 110-230Vac or 24Vac

INSTALLATION WARNINGS
- Mounting position reccomended: vertical
Mounting DIN bar - The installation must be executed according the local standards and legislations of the country
- Always operate on the electrical connections with the device disconnected from the main power supply
- Before carrying out any maintenance operations on the device, disconnect all the electrical connections
- For safety reasons the appliance must be fitted inside an electrical panel with no live parts accessible
- Don’t expose the device to continuous water sprays or to relative humidity greater than 90%.
Avoid exposure to corrosive or pollutant gases, natural elements, environments where explosives or
mixes of flammable gases are present, dust, strong vibrations or chock, large and rapid fluctuations in
ambient temperature that in combination with high humidity can condensate, strong magnetic and/or
radio interference (e.g. transmitting antennae)
- When connecting loads beware of the maximum current for each relay and connector
- Use cable ends suitable for the corresponding connectors. After tightening the screws of connectors,
slightly tug the cables to check their tightness
- Use appropriate data communication cables. Refer to the Fieldbus Installation Guide for the kind of cable to be
used and setup recommendations
Modbus RS485 - Reduce the path of the probe and digital inputs cables as much as possible, and avoid spiral paths
enclosing power devices. Separate from inductive loads and power cables to avoid possible

485 electromagnetic noises

- Avoid touching or nearly touching the electronic components fitted on the board to avoid electrostatic
discharges
